Conservas Güeyu Mar

The name of the game with Güeyu Mar tinned fish is flavors of the grill. Chef Abel Alvarez, who would refer to himself as an asador, or Grill Master, carefully chargrills the seafood in each tin, and applies smoke from purposefully selected batches of wood - often Holm Oak. This Mediterranean evergreen is one of the most appreciated BBQing woods across Spain and produces smoke with a nutty quality.

If you were to have a meal at Asador Alvarez's restaurant Güeyu Mar, you'd never know which dishes use fresh fish or the delicacies he tins himself. Half of the seafood dishes served use his canned seafood products, but he wouldn't tell you, and it wouldn't matter either way. This expertly cooked seafood is amazing straight from the tin, and has a rightful spot on the tables of one of Spain's best restaurants.
